OP
(Anonymous) 2016-01-28 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)And I'm not wanting some elite thing where everyone has to prove their geek cred to join, I just want the sort of laid back but fun attitude that sometimes pops up when you've done this rodeo a few times. Where you can have some topics on, say, feminist themes in shows that are generally respectful without too much table flipping. But also have topics on how adorable an actor's hair is.
And dear lord, no kinkshaming. What happened to the days of sharing baby jesus buttplugs and laughing about weird erotica without someone coming along to tut tut how gross it is and sex is horrible and shameful.
Mainly it seems older fans have a little more distance from issues. They can discuss drama without acting like it's brand new and never happened before. I like comparing and contrasting new and old drama.
I know it wouldn't be perfect, nothing ever is, but at least it wouldn't be the babyfan drama.
And there's nothing wrong with debating a preferred fandom definition! Is drabble exactly 100 words or anything under 500-ish? Is cosplay costumes + acting? Only Eastern properties while Western falls into costuming, so a Naruto cosplay or a Jack Sparrow costume? Or is it original is costuming and fancostumes are cosplay, Jack Sparrow cosplay vs. a generic pirate costume? People can discuss that, I like hearing options on it, I don't like "Cosplay's just another word for costuming and fandom words aren't real words so stop trying to give them a definition."
Plus maybe a little less pearl clutching over gay and non-canon pairings being shipped. "How could ANYone ship...." Because they're not unimaginative toads with giant sticks up their butts? There's nothing wrong with deciding you only like to ship canon, but most older canon shippers I've met understand that people are allowed to like different things.
